A breakthrough was made in virus research in Jyväskylä

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have developed a new type of sensor that detects the genome of enteroviruses more sensitively and in real time. The innovation could speed up the diagnosis of viral infections and improve the monitoring of disease progression in the future. It is a so-called Func sensor that uses fluorescent carbon nanodots and DNA probes to detect viral RNA. Unlike previous methods, the new technology can accurately id…
